Chapter 209: Snow Showed A Trusting Eyes Causing Leo To Inwardly Wince With Guilt.

"Oh? The two of you know each other Leo?"

Snow inwardly give a nod of approval to the man, when Leo didn't even tense up this time after Henry stupidly spoke up his name and showed that he knows him before Snow blinking his eyes in curiosity as he gazes back and forth between the two of them.

"Ah, yeah we got acquaintance when Henry was deployed on the planet that I have been staying for a while because of work and I just happened to help him with some problem that has suddenly sprung up since Henry needed a guide around the area."

Rather than telling about needing the man help, Leo will never show about himself being weak to his Little Cutie.

So Leo has spoken in a straight face about some half-lie and half-truth with ease, while quickly and normally draping his arms once again to the younger man shoulder and pulling him a bit closer while his red eyes that have been half-lidded the entire time has quickly shot a dangerous look toward the man.

Suddenly a realization began to finally dawn on Henry's eyes as he gazes at Leo arms that were wrapped around the younger man while feeling utter disbelief about what he was seeing and learning.

After all, this is the man that has been known for being uninterested, laid back, lazy and downright just dealing with the Empire problem because of the so-called responsibility and nothing more.

This man doesn't like the Empire, basically, deep down Leo doesn't like anyone and anything in his life.

But when Henry recieve the threatening messages that constantly alert him on his brain chip, he can tell that Leo is being for real and serious this time, basically, the iron tree has finally blossomed, he will definitely tell this to the Emperor, his monarch will positively feel happy to know about it.

And Leo that has felt that he has sent enough threatening message, for now, has finally stopped, although he still dreads that Henry will accidentally leak his real identity, even though he knew that there is no way that Henry is stupid enough to even do that.

However, as long as there is a high chance of it happening, Leo will make sure to stop it.

Because what if his Little Cutie suddenly got scared and run away from him after learning who he really is? Leo will let Henry understand that if he will have the trouble chasing his man if that were to happen, then there is no way that he will allow Henry to have an easy way chasing his man too.

Right now, the two of them are like in the same boat as they chase their own man, so if Leo can't get Dalle, then neither will Henry get his Tyrone.

"Deployed? You mean Henry works in Military?"

Although Snow knew the Henry identity already but as Z, there is still those loathsome feeling that always remain in the body he is using, those corrupted ones that dare to stain the wonderful meaning and concepts of what his biological family has stood for, that his biological father has given his all life for.

After all, once upon a time, before the Great General Tyr Welch has died in that unfortunate, which is really an ambush attack, that the Welch Family that was once in the top rank of aristocrat family that has produced a long list of talented, honored and skilled people in the military rank from the past generation are a well known military family.

But that was all in the past because the present generation only has the Welch older son Tyrone which is skilled in medical knowledge while the second child, a daughter, was a person who is more into cooking and famous as an online live person with food-related, while the youngest child has unfortunately died together with the Great General.

The Welch family currently consists of a Grandmother, mother, oldest son and daughter with no unfortunate member branch outside the main family, thus leaving the Welch family in mere name only since they have lost most of the power that they have in the military since while their rank in aristocrat family is also slowly diminishing from the past few years.

It is really pity though, however, when Snow quickly glances at the frowning Henry, well, if this man married to their Welch family then their tradition of having a person working in the military will count right?

After all, there is no way that Snow will work in the military after the mission is dealt with but for now, Snow will focus more at the three men that were currently giving him a confuse, alert and worried expression at the distaste and loathe emotion that Snow didn't hide one bit when he has spoken.

"Is there something wrong amidst working in the military? Did you have a bad experience with them?"

Hearing the gently probing of his older brother, Snow just wrinkles his nose before glancing around with his wide emerald eyes in what appeared to be awkwardness before shooting Henry a downright cautious and alarmed looked, but despite it all, he continues speaking bravely ignoring the way that Leo has eerily turned silent.

"No offense, but I dislike most of the people working in the military right now, well, you know, since their kind of bad? Yeah, bad, since I can even see that their kind of corrupted for a while now, even Ray mention it and he worked as a soldier before he left!" 

Ignoring the slight widening eyes of the two men before him while Leo just silently listen with scary focus and attention, Snow continues speaking.

"Oh! Especially I hate one individual in the Smith family! Ray told me that there is a name Ulric Smith that I need to watch out for! He said that man is a super pervert and has been harassing my friend when he was a soldier! That pervert even tried framing my friend too and wanted to exchange Ray's good reputation back as long as Ray accepted to sleep with the pervert for a few times!"

"And you know what? Ray just told him to fuck off and quit the military when that happened even though it causes him trouble from his family but if I were him I'll definitely punch that guy face before I left. Deserve it, such a pervert guy!"

With enraged bright emerald eyes, Snow cheeks turned crimson from anger as he continues to rant while ignoring the pale expression of Henry, although the poor guy probably got harrassed too from the look of it and Ulric was his cousin too, while Tyrone who saw the man reaction started to fret over him.

Well at least, something good has come out of it, like Henry getting his older brother's attention and focus on his life for a bit now or from what he can see on his older brother's eyes, it's going to be a long time of attention.

However, Snow was more focus at the deceptively low voice of Leo which he was able to sense the hint of danger on it when the man spoke, "Oh? That man is really no good. Stay away from him Little Cutie~ Though I wonder why Ray told you to stay away from him too, did he bother you somehow?"

Is that why you don't like men? Suddenly Leo that was alarmed from what he just heard, secretly gritted his teeth.

"Oh that pervert visit Marc Club and still harassing Ray, mentioning about the fact that he like the challenge and excitement of the chase. Yeah, I don't really get it though, luckily I'm busy doing my own stuff to visit my friend in the entertainment club all the time and didn't see that pervert frequently if he suddenly appeared there."

However, when he observed Leo normal expression but definitely not inwardly normal, definitely raging storm on his emotion, well, Snow will probably start to deal with that man, after all, even if Ulric Smith was a great pervert, he still has an important role in the Smith family and held some status in the Military enough that he was trusted sufficiently by Henry father.

"Flake, tell me when Ulric will visit Marc Club again alright?"

Secretly communicating with Flake on his mind, and getting a reply back, Snow then pulled Leo by grabbing his wrist, with a bright smile appears on his face, as he leads him out.

"But forget that! Come on Leo! Since you are here, tell me what kind of food do you like to eat and I'll cook those for you whenever I have time, especially when we are not going to be busy with our work and staying together in our free time."

Suddenly, Snow watch as the man brighten up, red eyes glittering in delight which cause Snow to be a bit in a daze for seconds before blinking his eyes back and returning to normal, unfortunately Leo was far too happy that he didn't see Snow stunned moment or else he will definitely feel delighted that his charm is finally working.

Soon, the four of them continue to do what they have come to the City Market in the first place, Snow letting Leo carry what he will be cooking for tonight dinner, while the other ingredients he bought will be delivered later on.

And to their other side, was the figure of the stiff and awkward Henry that was following Tyrone around, and even Snow can see about how soft and tender his older brother gaze whenever he glances at the oblivious person beside him.

Tyrone gaze linger with hope, longing and an expression of 'is this really happening?' or 'is he with him right now?' there is definitely a history between them.

Snow couldn't help but wonder about the would-be future, these two people have missed a chance to be together because of hesitation and uncertainty that has caused their possibility to turned zero.

Inwardly shaking his head, Snow continues to work Leo, while teasing and bullying the man once in a while, having fun seeing those beautiful red eyes lighting up then becoming downcast and then flashing with wonder and excitement of maybe Snow was finally seeing that he wanted something more to their relationship only to turned disappointed.

Ah Snow is definitely bad for his chosen lover in this world.

And then, after hugging his older brother in goodbye, ignoring the hidden sharp look from Leo and Henry's hidden envy, Snow has finally taken the man to his home.

"Here we go! This is where you are going to be living starting today!"

With a welcome smile, Snow has opened his arms wide in a show of how happy he is to have the man starting living with him at this moment on and then soon, he started showing the place before finally helping to carry the man another bag while the man pulled the heavier one as he follows him to a room.

"Little Cutie, um isn't this your room?"

Although he was happy, delighted and hoping once again, but Leo become inwardly alert, after all, he finally learned from the roller coaster of emotion this afternoon in the Market City, that he will become disappointed once again.

Because much to his dismay, Leo should probably stop thinking about something more deeply to every movement and action that the young man will be doing, because there is no adoration and affection on those bright emerald eyes.

Snow that has place Leo luggage into one of the empty closets on his room gaze at the older man with wide clear eyes, pure and untainted which has cause Leo to unable to figure out if he should cry or laugh after hearing the words that have come out on the young man mouth.

"Well, we are going to be sharing the same bed. There is nothing wrong with that right? Oh! Don't worry Leo! I will not take advantage of you, after all, just like I said before I don't like men. I will not become like that perverted Ulric! Your chastity is going to be safe! I will not take advantage of you, I promise you!"

No pleases become a pervert and take advantage of me for all you want, that is what Leo wanted to speak right now but he can only nod and smile at those bright emerald eyes that spoke of 'trust me Leo nothing will go wrong' and ' I trust you to do the same Leo.'

Wincing a bit in guilt, Leo will definitely need to control himself every time he interact with that younger man in order not to cross the bottom line.

Damn.
